A frantic, pixel-art action game where you dodge and parry enemy patterns while cycling through weapons to survive a procedurally generated nightmare.

What players say
Players praise the parry system and combat variety but warn that late-game enemy spam makes hits feel unavoidable. Many compare it to Skul: The Hero Slayer or Dead Cells, noting a slow start and heavy reliance on parrying at higher difficulties.
